Abstract:
Infertilitet är en diagnos som kan drabba både män och kvinnor men mannens upplevelser är betydligt mindre utforskat än kvinnans upplevelser. En litteraturstudie genomfördes där syftet med studien var att belysa mäns upplevelser av att leva med infertilitet. Resultatet bygger på 11 vetenskapliga artiklar och består av fyra kategorier; Känslomässiga aspekter, Upplevelser av livspåverkan, Sociala aspekter och Upplevelser av stöd och information utanför relation och familj. Resultatet påvisar att infertilitet kan innebära många olika blandade känslor, exempelvis frustration, skuld, hjälplöshet, b

Abstract:
While the introduction of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has revolutionized the treatment of male infertility, concerns have been raised regarding the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in pregnancies derived from ICSI. Studies on sperm from infertile men have suggested that this population may produce higher rates of aneuploid sperm. Thus, we hypothesized that defects in early meiotic events may contribute to both male infertility and the production of aneuploid sperm. We used immunofluorescent techniques to observe the synapsis and recombination of chromosomes during meiosis, and

Abstract:
Infertility currently affects an estimated 8-12% of couples globally and the male factor is suspected as the primary cause in about half of these cases. There are several identified genetic causes for male infertility such as Y chromosome microdeletions and chromosomal rearrangements; however, these known genetic causes only account for 15-30% of male infertility cases, with the majority being idiopathic. Recently, there has been a shift toward studying epigenetic mechanisms as a potential avenue to explain idiopathic cases of male infertility. Most commonly, DNA methylation of imprinted genes

Abnormal DNA methylation at imprinted and non-imprinted genes has been associated with spermatogenesis failure.

Abstract:
Introduktion: Polycystiskt ovarialsyndrom ( PCOS)  är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till infertilitet och metabola störningar bland kvinnor i fertil ålder. Diagnosen vid PCOS karakteriseras av tre relaterade hälsotillstånd: ovulationsstörningar, hyperandrogenism och polycystiskt ovarial morfologi (PCOM). Oberoende av ovanstående huvuddiagnoser verkar insulinresistens (IR) och kompensatorisk hyperinsulinism spela en viktig roll för patogenesen av PCOS. Till följd av detta har ämnen som ökar insulinkänsligheten, såsom myo-inositol, hamnat i allt större fokus som en potentiell behandling av PCOS.

It is divided into theoretical and experimental parts. The theoretical part studies firstly, the determinants of reproductive factors that influence male and female fertility and, secondly, the importance of maintaining a good nutritional status during hospital recovery in

Abstract:
Uppsatsen undersöker hur ”SOU 2016:11 Olika vägar till föräldraskap” formulerar problemet med surrogatmoderskap, vilka subjektspositioner som kan urskiljas i utredningen och analyserar den ut ett kritiskt postkolonialt feministiskt perspektiv.   Utredningen utgår ifrån mänsklig värdighet, autonomi och barnets bästa vilket uppsatsen belyser får konsekvenser för hur problemet med surrogatarrangemang porträtteras olika beroende på om surrogatmodern och barnet är från det globala syd eller det globala nord. Utgångspunkterna är centrala när surrogatmodern och barnet från det globala nord lyfts men

Abstract:
A qualitative phenomenological paradigm was used to explore the experience of male factor infertility for childless men. Six men were recruited; three from Vancouver, B.C. and three from Regina, Saskatchewan. The men described their experience of infertility within an individual, in-depth, audiotaped interview. Eight common themes were extrapolated from an analysis of the data. The results indicated that the mens’ experience of male factor infertility included all of the following: (1) intense grief and loss, (2) a sense of powerlessness and loss of control, (3) feelings of inadequacy,
